Chaps we're in a deep hole here, how about we sacrifice the one minister who seems to quite competent.

Whilst I can convince myself I don't mind paying extra tax for the variety of things that need fixing in government. Giving a free handout to Waspi's is a line in the sand!

You wait months for an incoherent speech on the economy, and then two come along in the same morning! My SKETCH of Rachel Reeves vs Kemi Badenoch vs Reality.
Making a mess of a mess | Robert Hutton | The Critic Magazine
To get one incoherent speech on the economy may be regarded as a misfortune. To get two in the same morning… well, it did at least move us towards an explanation of why people have to keep making them.

Kemi Badenoch expressed her frustration at Robert Jenrick going off message and off policy & also at Katie Lam going off 'core messages' for talking what the Opposition's policy had been for 5 months on their headline theme of borders, where the party had proposed to remove ILR residence status

The last 24 hours have shown us what Britain is truly up against: a small phalanx of hatemongers who despise Britain so much they want to drag it down into the same filth they live in.

The sheer greasy desperation from these bastards that any violent crime is committed by an immigrant so they can continue their grift. Even when they know it isn't true. Foul.
Matt Goodwin attributes a crime that he now knows appears to have been committed by people born in Britain in the early 1990s to "mass uncontrolled immigration"

Coincidentally this is a good thing (taking breath away) if you are standing underneath. Keep you mouth shut, head down and hood up!
Sky full of Starlings again. It is hard to get a video that shows how many there are. I hope I get many more days to try! 😆 No matter how many times I see Starlings murmurate it will always take my breath away.

Most people in Britain are positive about universities (63%). Just 6% think they have a negative impact. A third of people are neutral. Universities may be struggling more with political elites than with general public, but could broaden their public reach too

Is saying that the Jews run the world antisemitic or just vigilant? Tune in for next week's episode of "is it racist to be racist"
Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black & Asian people a racist or realist? How many migrants would the Tories expel? & should the UK be selling fighter jets to Türkiye?

Amazing book and amazing author.
Rereading this wonderful book by a favorite author for the first time in years — and wow, does it hit different after living thru an actual pandemic. Eerily prescient in places. Still 10/10

What I expect to be the norm in legal practice in the coming years, inquiries based on AI "advice" or where people have got so far down the road that they are facing consequences relying on AI. One reason you can't ignore it in teaching, students need to know what's BS and what BS AI generates.
Oh but I hate LLM AI so much. Four new client inquiries today, all AI generated, all confidently stating causes of action that don't exist, or are completely out of time, but each with a potential underlying claim, and with valuations of the claim that are out by an order of magnitude.

Professors *never* supply information. Students aren’t paying premium prices for ‘information’ at all. How can people who presumably have attended universities misunderstand their role so badly?
Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

It’s almost as though the Tory party who threw their hands up in horror at a Chagos deal *they fucking initiated* are run by disingenuous fuckers.
What I love about Holden’s “when I was in Cabinet, these guys were charged”, is, yes, the same week that the PM was (rightly!) trying to get a meeting with Xi Jinping!
INCREDIBLE clip.
